To set up a ATO, you will need a SL1
Or
You can set one up using a timer on the RK.. (Mine is set up this way for kalk)

On my Apex, I'll use ma float valves to trigger, but still put rules to manually shut off the pump if it runs more than xx amount of time. There's checks and balances that you can implement on the Apex (no experience with DA), that help put your mind at ease.

Same here as u can set alerts and alarms!!! I have 2 float valves going on my tank.. :D
 
IMO i would go with the Apex lite.... I have the JR and I've spend more money now instead of spending the extra and get the full version. Add ons will happen

:argue: Am I going to need to seperate you two?! haha.

Yes, the text alerts would be a really cool feature, but w/ 2 of my buddies living with me there's basically somone home almost all the time. And yes, the alarm would piss them off enough to get off their butt & call me to tell me the displayed alert.

IDK still for some reason leaning towards a Reef Keeper over APEX for what I want it to do now and in the future. Yes, APEX has a ton of reason cool additional features, but I think I can live w/o them for the additional $100-$200 that I could put towrads livestock.

Thinking about stepping it up one level to the REEFKEEPER LITE PLUS
ReefKeeper Lite Plus Features:
•Head Unit
•2 PC4 power bars (8 total outlets)
•Digital Aquatics Temperature probe
•ReefKeeper SL1 pH and ORP Module(Inputs: pH, ORP, Temperature, and 2x Switch Ports)

Gives me an addtional powe bar, this way everything for my system can run through it vs running through crappy power strips or having to pay for a nice bar. Also gives me a SL1 and pH probe. I would like to get some lunar moon lights - these would connect nicely to the RKL+ as well as adding a ATO/Float Switch.

Of course, Dre you could come over and help me program it.
Jay, If I am out of town and have an alarm go off you could come over and fix my tank's issue.
 
You can program rkl from computer. I wireless through a doggle and do everything from my desktop. If I new how to remote to my computer then u would have complete control from anywhere. You can control on offs of vortecs but mine is controlled by radion program. I think the only difference that I see in the two is phone access and app. I do have a net setup but can't seem to get it to work properly. But my wireless to it works so really don't need it.

Thanks for the input Brent - I was thinking the same thing. I have an extra (old) laptop that IF I were to be on vacation I could link the RKL+ to and remotely log in to the computer - I can actually remotely login from my iphone which would give me all the wireless access. :)

Go to: www.teamviewer.com Thats what I use for remote login to my computer, or if I need to help someone else with thiers (have them join a 'temp' meeting). Its completely free and free iphone app. I can basically use my computer at home completely from my iphone where ever I am =D which means... I could potientally control the RKL+ as well. =D
